Its slow reflexes — closely following its slow response to a controversy that forced the resignation of Van Jones, a White House adviser — suggested that it has trouble dealing with stories arising from the polemical world of talk radio, cable television and partisan blogs. Some stories, lacking facts, never catch fire. But others do, and a newspaper like The Times needs to be alert to them or wind up looking clueless or, worse, partisan itself … “If you know you are a target, it requires extra vigilance,” Rosenstiel said. “&lt;b&gt;Even the suspicion of a bias is a problem all by itself&lt;/b&gt;.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The NYT's could regain trust again, if they did follow ups on Obama's connections to ACORN, his 20-year membership in a racist group/"church", his connections to communists like Ayers &amp; Davis, his connections to corruption (e.g. Rezko), his lack of a reported past - e.g. grades in school, etc.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Karmi</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 27 Sep 2009 09:58:24 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Stand Up For ACORN, Cut Blackwater And Halliburton</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2009/09/stand-up-for-acorn-cut-blackwater-and-halliburton/#comment-17297406</link><description>Here's the logo: &lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.cachefly.net/michellemalkin.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/1obacornlog003.jpg" rel="nofollow"&gt;OBAMACORN&lt;/a&gt;.
